A food hall with a rotating carousel bar and event space is anticipated to open in December. Located in downtown at 990 Broadway, The mixed-use concept will be called “The Mix” and is inspired by classic New Orleans architecture. The building will wrap around an interior open-air courtyard that will have a carousel bar with a French/industrialist/mixologist theme. The concept is a family-owned project between Brandon Stanley, his wife Ashley Stanley, and Brandon’s mother Kristen Ernst. The property was purchased for $680,000 in May 2018 and according to Stanley, $2.5 million has been invested into the project.

The food hall will have four food venders and two boutique tenants on the first floor. The second floor will have event and banquet space. It is anticipated that that the Dunedin Mix will open in December, but no official date has been announced yet.

When the Stanley’s purchased the property, they wanted to do a mixed-use project but after seeing Armature Works and enjoying the concept they decided to bring the project to Dunedin. Dunedin also does not have a true event venue so the project will cater to many purposes for those in the area.

The property used to hold an old home that had been converted into a business. The Stanley’s demolished it, and after dealing with delays related to COVID-19, began moving forward with creating the food hall concept. The building is around 10,000 SF including the courtyard and balconies and has a capacity of 200.

2 tenants have been revealed for the food hall so far: Huli Bowl & Rotisserie and Al Dante Pasta and Pizza. More tenants will be revealed in the coming weeks. According to Stanley, everyone will do fun to-go style concepts for their menus versus large entrees. One area in the food hall will also be reserved for cooking classes. Stanley’s construction company, Paramount Construction Group, is the general contractor. They are finishing buildouts for tenants at cost to keep the price point down.
